Yes, I've been on a spending binge. &nbsp;It is lovely to see my underwear sorted and folded nicely, instead of crammed willy-nilly into a drawer. &nbsp;Not sure why I didn't do this years ago &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-wardrobe-basics-edit-review/page/2#post-1994680 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 19:33:35 +0000 Angie 1994680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY<b></b>,<b> bonnie</b>. What a win. Finding a comfy bra is not to be underestimated. Enjoy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-wardrobe-basics-edit-review/page/2#post-1994616 Mon, 21 Jan 2019 17:12:58 +0000 Bonnie 1994616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a quick observation about my success in finally finding my perfect bra which was inspired by your Wardrobe Basic Blog post. It made me remember that one of my HEW's is a tee shirt bra. We drove over 100 miles to attend a symphony concert yesterday, in a town with a Nordstroms. Between lunch and the concert, I had time to actually shop in a b/m Nordies and found this bra which I think is perfect. I probably wouldn't have done this without your inspiration to "work on your basics." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-wardrobe-basics-edit-review/page/2#post-1993596 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 19:00:00 +0000 Marilyn 1993596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Joy</b>.....Thanks!&nbsp; I've only watched the first episode so far.&nbsp; I'll check it out! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-wardrobe-basics-edit-review/page/2#post-1993574 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 17:56:55 +0000 Anonymous 1993574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marilyn, I watched the last two episodes of Marie Kondo last night on Netflix. One of them, (I think the next to last or one before that), addressed bras and underwear, showing how to fold and store two types of bras, also undies and socks. That may be helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-wardrobe-basics-edit-review/page/2#post-1993570 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 17:49:00 +0000 Angie 1993570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Marilyn,</b> I don't know! My bras fold really well like that, and hold their shape. There is lots of space - the cups aren't squashed.

I think I need to do the Marie Kondo thing and pull everything out, re-sort and rearrange the drawers - I have been folding the way she does for a year or so now and love being able to see everything. My bras just don't fit in the drawer with socks and underwear and get in the way. I do need new bras and underwear too, they are embarrassingly grungy but I am super picky (and cheap) and have a hard time finding replacements. My workout gear is pretty complete but I have some items that don't get worn any more that I should just get rid of. Same with sleep wear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-wardrobe-basics-edit-review/page/2#post-1993468 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 13:01:15 +0000 Laura 1993468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is DONE! And as you said, it didn't take too long. I think I did mine in 45 minutes. Instead of using dividers, I wound up shifting what I put in each drawer. My socks are now happily existing in a drawer all their own where there will be no intermingling with bras and underwear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-wardrobe-basics-edit-review/page/2#post-1993459 Fri, 18 Jan 2019 12:21:59 +0000 kkards 1993459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>really.... your going to make me go thru the&nbsp;accumulated "stuff" i call lounge wear?

If anything I need a couple more underpants (I estimate I only have about 8 pairs total- that’s cutting it a bit fine as I only wash clothes twice a week!!). My lounge/dog walk tees need to be updated too. But I have to find the perfect, comfy, hardy and flattering tees for this purpose and as you guys know, that’s HARD! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/challenge-wardrobe-basics-edit-review#post-1993304 Thu, 17 Jan 2019 22:32:07 +0000 kerry 1993304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure.

I think I'm going to reassess what I have in each of my drawers and try to separate the bras and socks that are constantly intermingling into different drawers. </p>
